Possibly one of the must stunning drives in Mayo. Head for Louisbough and take a left after the bridge. It's a stunning drive and you will want to stop to take lots of photos. In the Summer months there is a food trailer to get some good coffee and snacks.

A scenic and historic drive. Drive from Westport to Louisburgh and take a left outside Louisburgh to Doolough. From here you can drive to Leenaun.

Doo Lough Valley is a high quality driving route in a spectacular setting on the R335 between Delphi and Louisburgh. Along the route is Doo Lough Pass near Doo Lough between Mweelrea Mountain and the Sheeffry Hills. Here you will find the Doo Lough Famine Memorial, a plain stone cross engraved with the words ‘Doolough Tragedy 1849’, in memory of the victims. During the great famine in 1849 hundreds of destitute and starving people of Louisburgh set off on foot to Delphi Lodge to seek food from the authorities there. However, they were harshly rejected. On the way back to Louisburgh, many of them died of hunger and frost in the Doolough Valley. as a reminder of one of the blackest events in Irish history, the Doo Lough Tragedy, which occurred on 31 March 1849 during the Great Famine.

Take a drive down the Doolough Valley just outside Louisburgh for second to none scenic views of mountains and lakes. The more adventurous might opt to climb Mweelrea mountain, the highest peak in the county and province.
